Integrated K9 Solutions

Paul offers an amazing set of services designed to enhance the skills of your dogs based on thorough discussion, individualized training (of both the humans and the dogs), relatable examples, and pure expertise that only comes from years of service as a K9 trainer/LEO handler. We had our youngest (lab) in at 4 months for the two week boot camp while we were away so my mother wouldn’t be so overwhelmed “babysitting” our other two (4 yr and 11yr old females) with our 14 yr old cat AND our 16 year old human child! I was shocked at what an amazing turn around we saw when we came home and reintegrated him into the house. He didn’t chase the cat, he wasn’t trying to open doors, he LISTENED when we said stay, come, place, and kept his eyes on us ready to follow the next command. We began taking our other two along w him to the weekly one on one trainings. All three at a time. Most often it was just me, sometimes my hubby. He taught me how to handle the three of them individually and together. While we still work on different things w each of them because they do have their own strengths and personalities, I can actually walk all 3 by myself. I often get comments from people on how impressed they are by my ability to command/control them together. One of the biggest wins is not having them try to run out the door when people come knocking and I open it. They sit and stay right where I’ve taught them. It never happened before no matter how hard I tried because mob mentality was too much for me to defeat. Paul taught me how to overcome that through practice (the right kind) and persistence in showing them (and myself) that I’m actually the one in charge. While I’m super busy and sometimes get off track w the reinforcement practice, they quickly fall back in line when I return to it because I know how to motivate them (without treats often). He knows all the breeds so well, and really works with their natural temperaments and individual personalities. It’s WELL WORTH the money. It’s WELL WORTH the time. It’s an investment that will really create so much more enjoyment out of having your fur baby. (I know, Paul…. They’re not babies… 😉)

When my puppy chose me and we started this journey, the first trainer that came up in convo was Paul. He was highly recommended by all of the ladies in the medical field that works with my wife, He immediately started into a confidence course and the rest has been history. He will help shape that bond between you and your dog and can help with any level of obedience and drive. If you have a great dog and want a little more from it, IK9S is the solution. Ask about group classes, One on one, protection training, and The Kennel Club.

Excellent Dog Trainer - Highly Recommend We recently connected with Paul for training our two dogs, and we are pleased with the results. They started with his on-site board and train program. He worked extensively with them on obedience, socialization, and addressing some behavioral issues we were struggling with. I've attended two of his weekend public training classes, I'm impressed by the organization and structure of these group sessions. My dogs are much more obedient, calmer in public, and better socialized with other dogs. Paul was patient (with humans too), knowledgeable (read what he recommends), and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of the dogs he trains.
